** ACHIEVED TIED 1ST PLACE IN FAA CONTEST - The Alphabet of Birds in Australia - Photography o... April 2022.
A wild Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. They come close to our homes in hope of some free food. They also pinch all our lemons and mandarins just to get the seeds, then leave a big mess!
I captured this image in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
I would like to give credit to Jai Johnson for the wonderful texture overlay. For more of her beautiful textures, please visit > http://www.jaiart.com/thedailytexture
The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Cacatua galerita, is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia and New Guinea. They can be locally very numerous, leading to them sometimes being considered pests. They are well known in aviculture, although they can be demanding pets.
In Australia, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos can be found widely in the north and east, ranging as far south as Tasmania, but avoiding arid inland areas with few trees. They are numerous in suburban habitats in cities such as Adelaide, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane. Except for highland areas, they occur throughout most of New Guinea and on nearby smaller islands such as Waigeo, Misool and Aru, and various islands in the Cenderawasih Bay and Milne Bay.

...the unmistakable brilliant white "capped cockatoo" bird "at rest" (the yellow crest reflecting its emotions). An amazing photography Kaye. Looking forward to seeing the bird when it is truly excited ;)
